I'm playing tricks in Daqin

A harmonious family and everything is prosperous, which shows the importance of harmony. When wives and concubines live together peacefully, a man can devote himself to his work instead of being overwhelmed by all kinds of jealousy and burning everywhere.

Li Wei was content. During this time, he mostly stayed at home with his wives, concubines and children, enjoying family happiness, and occasionally went to the provincial capital of Qingchuan to visit Mingzhu.

Among the girls, Mingzhu is the busiest. She is the commander of the Phoenix Legion. She is stationed in the provincial capital of Qingchuan, about ten days away from the imperial capital of Chang'an. For the training of soldiers, she wanted to help Xianggong complete the great cause of unifying the mainland and saving the common people in the world as soon as possible. Therefore, she had to train the Phoenix Army to become a hundred-fighting lion.

All the empires are recuperating, like wounded beasts, hiding in the dark and silently wounding their wounds, and the mainland has thus gained rare peace.

However, this calm did not last long. After the summer, the Jin Empire's raids on the Jin Empire's borders became more and more frequent.

Due to the lack of supplies outside the Great Wall, the Jin army was powerful in field battles, but its offensive and defense were weak points. Therefore, they all implemented the scorched-earth strategy of supporting war with war.

King Huabin of Jin was furious and ordered Duqi General Huo Jian to lead an army of [-] troops out of the pass to sweep them out, and he must teach the Jin Empire a severe lesson.

This time, the king of Jin seemed to be really angry. He transferred the [-] most elite imperial guards in charge of guarding the palace to Huo Jian's command, but he also gave Huo Jian a death order. If the Jin army could not be defeated, See you soon.

After the expedition ceremony, under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, Huo Jian led an army of [-] to the north.

After the army went out, King Huabin of Jin decreed that [-] sharp men were drawn from each army to form a battalion of sharp men temporarily to strengthen the defense of the palace.

This decree is normal, and no one will suspect it. Naturally, a large army must be sent to mobilize the Jin army's iron cavalry. Since the Jin army is mostly cavalry, it is natural to dispatch elite cavalry to respond. The strength of Jian's troops is even more of a favor to Huo Jian.

The Habayashi guards are the most powerful elites in the Jin Empire, and they shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace. Now, five thousand guards are on the march, and the defense of the palace is weakened. The vacancy of the imperial guards is very normal, no one would think that this is Hua Bin's trick to kill people with a knife.

Hua Bin has been planning this matter for a long time. He tried every means to eradicate Xuan Suju's influence in the court. Jin Junbian just gave him this excuse. Huo Jian's wives and concubines are Xuan Suju's disciples, and his two daughters are also Xuan Suju's. Disciple, he was also strongly recommended by Xuanyue. He served as the general of Duqi and took charge of the guards. He had too many stigmata of Xuan Suju on his body, so he was naturally one of Huabin's first targets to eradicate.

Although the imperial guards are elite imperial guards, there are many middle and senior officers in the army who are either from Huo Jian's sect or are his confidantes, who are inextricably linked with Xuan Suju. It's not something he can control, it's a dangerous existence, so he doesn't mind ruining this elite cavalry at all.

In addition to Li Chengzhi, the supervisor of the army, who was his confidant, the seven or eight aides who cooperated with Huo Jian were all from Xuan Suju's lineage, and they were eliminated together.

The Golden Army Cavalry is known as the strongest in the field, but every time they are beaten by Mingzhu's army, they lose their helmets and armor, and flee in embarrassment. Over time, all the civil and military officials of the Jin court, including Hua Bin, think that the Golden Army Cavalry is not as scary as it is in the legend. The combat power may only be slightly stronger than the armies of the Central Plains empires. As long as the command does not make mistakes, with the strength of the empire, it can easily beat the Jin people to the ground.

Huo Jian led the army to march all the way, and arrived at Longhu Pass in the northwest border in a few days. After a day's rest, the army rushed out of the pass to find the main force of the Jin army.

Chapter 438 Annihilated

Huo Jian can also be regarded as a seasoned veteran, but he has never led an army out of customs and fought against the Jin army. At that time, other generals had no chance to lead the army to fight the Jin army.

As for the geography, climate, customs, customs, etc. of the prairie outside the Great Wall, he only learned a little from the books, and he also read some battles between Mingzhu and the Jin army. He knew that the prairie was suitable for cavalry to gallop. It is general military common sense that people with a little knowledge of military affairs know this truth.

In Mingzhu's battle example, he basically used this trick to deal with the Golden Army's iron cavalry. He was victorious in every battle. It seems very ordinary. If he was in command, he would definitely win. The combat power of the Golden Army is not very good. Exaggerated times.

Because he had seen many battles between Mingzhu and the Jin army, Huo Jian did not take the Jin army's combat power seriously. However, on the way to the depths of the prairie, the marching and camping were quite satisfactory, and they also showed a certain degree of military strength. ability.

The prairie is vast and the grass is as green as mushrooms. It is indeed a land rich in war horses. However, the flat terrain is good for cavalry to gallop, but because of the wide field of vision, it is easy to spot the enemy, so there is no need to worry about being ambushed.

The army advanced to the depths of the prairie. Along the way, some small tribes of the tribe fled. Except for the occasional battle at night, there was basically no large-scale battle between the two sides. The main force of the Jin army has been avoiding.

On the third day, the five thousand Qingqi who were playing the vanguard finally met a 3000-man Jin army. After a fight, the Jin army was defeated and fled, and the Jin army chased after them. Game of chasing mice.

In the evening, Huo Jian led his army to a small hillside in Fulongpo. He ordered to camp on the spot, and at the same time sprinkled a lot of Yeburei to inspect the area with a radius of a hundred miles.

The whole night was safe and sound, but the vanguard did not send back any news all night, which made Huo Jian a little uneasy.

When the whole army was preparing to set off, there was a night when no reports were received, and the main force of the Jin army came, with an estimated number of [-] to [-].

In the distant sky, dust and smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, and the ground shook violently. Huo Jian hurriedly ordered the soldiers to form a formation to fight. In addition to the most elite 5000 imperial guards, there were [-] light cavalry in his [-] army. There are [-] soldiers, and [-] people are logistics and auxiliary soldiers.

Huo Jian deployed a standard field formation. The army was divided into three armies, the front, the middle, and the rear. They were all deployed in a dense defensive phalanx, with a large number of archers in the center to protect the formation, and [-] imperial guards to protect the two wings.

After the formation of the army was completed, the [-] gold troops also swarmed in, all cavalry, but the formation was a little scattered, not as orderly as the Jin army.

The two sides didn't even say a word, and went to war directly.

The Jin army was all cavalry, and Huo Jian did not order the front army to advance, but formed a defensive formation on the spot, like a forest of spears, forming a large formation of three long spears.

Huo Jian's arrangement is very correct. The infantry can only be beaten when facing the cavalry. Under normal circumstances, they can only passively form a defensive formation.

The infantry formed a defensive formation, and five thousand imperial guards came out to fight. Amid the earth-shattering rumble of drums, the cavalry on both sides launched a tentative attack with a thousand-man cavalry.

As soon as they fought, the thousand knights of the imperial guards suffered a big loss. The horses of both sides sprinted, and when the distance narrowed, the knights of the golden army first shot down a wave of arrows, shooting down more than a hundred knights of the imperial guards, and then rushed forward with their swords. Started a hand-to-hand fight.

The imperial guards belong to the emperor's army and are responsible for guarding the palace. The weapons and horses are the best, and the treatment is the best. The soldiers are veterans carefully selected from various armies, but the officers are all noble officials and eunuchs. Usually, they are full of prestige when they wear fresh clothes and angry horses, and perform ceremonial guards. However, these officers have never been on the battlefield, and their combat power is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary recruits. After fighting, it is a miracle that he didn't get scared and piss.

It was only the first round of charge, and the formation of the imperial guard cavalry was rushed to pieces, losing more than half of it. On the other hand, the Golden Army lost less than a hundred cavalry.

The knights on both sides turned their horses and rushed back to kill. The Jin army sprinkled another wave of arrows, and then drew their swords to fight. Among the thousand elite guards, only more than 50 people returned to the battle alive.

The face of Huo Jian, who was supervising the battle in the formation, turned green. Is it because the Jin army's combat power is too terrifying?Or is the guard cavalry under his control just a piece of paper?

The imperial guard cavalry is one of the three elites known as the most powerful in the empire.

Not allowing him to think too much, amidst the sound of rumbling war drums, the Jin Army launched an attack, with [-] cavalry attacking from the front, and [-] cavalry on the left and right flanking the two wings.

Huo Jian ordered all the formations to defend in place, and at the same time ordered the remaining [-] imperial guards to concentrate on the right wing. The troops were scattered and could only be eaten away by the Jin army one by one.

Until now, Huo Jian is still correct in command and deployment, but he underestimated the combat power of the Jin army and overestimated the combat power of the soldiers under his command.

In Huo Jian's heart, he thought that what Mingzhu could do, he could do it too, and he was confident that he could do it, but sometimes, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Compared with the frontier army in the palm, the difference is not just one level.

Not to mention that Zhu usually runs the army rigorously, with clear rewards and punishments, and is supported by the soldiers. The mythical title of God of War alone is enough to deter the enemy and inspire the morale of the soldiers. It is the soul that no one can replace in the Jin Empire military. There is also prestige in the army, but it is limited to the imperial guards, one in the sky and one in the ground, there is no comparison at all.

Another one, the Mingzhu army beat the Jin army, and most of the troops used were soldiers guarding the border. These local troops were all miscellaneous troops, and the treatment of weapons and equipment was not as good as that of the standing army stationed on one side.

Little did they know that the Golden Army often violated borders. These miscellaneous troops guarding the border had fought against the Golden Army all year round. They not only withstood the tempering of blood and fire, but also accumulated a lot of valuable experience in dealing with the Golden Army cavalry. If the weapons and equipment were not much different However, the real strongest fighters are these miscellaneous frontier troops.

Huo Jian's so-called elite [-] Imperial Guard cavalry usually show off their prestige in shows and other things, but they are very cool when they go to the battlefield.

And the [-] troops under his command, except for the [-] old soldiers who can be called elite, the rest are all new recruits on the battlefield for the first time, and their combat strength can be imagined.

The [-] imperial guards concentrated on the right flank relied on sophisticated weapons and equipment, and they did not appear to be defeated for a while, but the soldiers in the front phalanx suffered from cramp in their calves in the face of the rolling steel torrent. Honest farmers, where have you seen such a scary scene?

After the cavalry of the Jin army charged into the bow and arrow range, the archers in the formation, under the command of the officer, shot waves of arrow rain, inflicting certain damage on the Jin army.

The speed of the cavalry's impact was very fast. After two waves of arrow rain, they had rushed to the front of the spear formation like a forest of spears, and shot a wave of arrow rain with their cavalry bows.

Regardless of whether they are men or women, the ethnic groups outside the Great Wall grew up on horseback. Everyone is a natural warrior. They are skilled in riding and archery. Many of them are even archers. Defensive phalanx, shooting arrows with eyes closed can hit the target.

All of a sudden, under the rain of arrows, bloody flowers appeared, groups of Jin soldiers fell down screaming, and chaos and gaps appeared in the dense square formation.

"kill!"

The golden army put away their bows and drew out their iron swords, roaring in their mouths, urging their mounts to rush towards the spear formation like a forest of spears.

The sharp spear penetrated into the horse's body, spurting blood, the horse hissed sadly, and collapsed, not only crushing many spears, but also overwhelmed the frightened spearmen.

Faced with this kind of suicidal charge, even the veterans who have been through the battle for a long time will inevitably tremble with fear, and the recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time are frightened. Unable to hold the spear in their hands, they collapsed limply, some stood dumbly, and most of them vomited.

Facing the follow-up of the cavalry of the Golden Army, the front army's first phalanx, which faced the enemy head-on, collapsed first. Spear, desperately ran backwards, but the dense companions blocked their way of escape.

The Golden Army knights who broke into the formation roared and waved their iron swords, cutting down Jin soldiers who were so frightened that they lost their resistance, and more Jin soldiers were knocked down by the galloping horses. The archers covered by soldiers turned into slaughtered lambs, and the entire dense phalanx collapsed in an instant.

There are roaring war horses everywhere, and shining iron swords everywhere, and the collapsed Jin soldiers can only run back desperately.

Facing the fleeing companions, the soldiers in the two dense phalanxes instinctively put away their spears, and were then thrown into disorder by the fleeing crowd.

Fear quickly infected the soldiers in the rear phalanx like a plague. They also collapsed, threw away their weapons, and ran desperately towards the central formation.

This is the instinct of fleeing for one's life. There are more companions and more weapons behind, which may be able to block the golden soldiers who come to cover up and protect them from being slaughtered.

But the result was that they brought a fatal disaster to the companions of the Chinese military phalanx, and the dense phalanx was disrupted by them, causing a collapse.

Huo Jian didn't expect the one hundred thousand army to be defeated so quickly. In desperation, he wanted to charge forward with a sword, but was knocked unconscious by the guards, and fled with his horse.

The one hundred thousand army collapsed in an instant, like an ant colony that exploded its nest, and there were fleeing soldiers everywhere, but the prairie was vast, and there was nowhere to hide, except for those who rode horses and ran fast, escaped for the time being. The infantry were either killed or taken prisoner.

More than 2000 cavalrymen of the Jin army rode their horses and fled desperately. The cavalrymen of the Jin army were chasing after them. , had to obediently raise their hands in surrender.

Huo Jian knew that escaping back would be a dead end. In order not to hurt his family, he led the surviving guards of hundreds of cavalry to fight back, and formed a group with the chasing golden soldiers. After fighting more than 200 golden soldiers, finally all die in battle.

Chapter 439 Harassment Tactics

On the fifth day after the decisive battle, Li Chengzhi, the supervisor of the army, and Eunuch Li were carried to the Dragon and Tiger Pass by four soldiers. News that the general's [-] troops were wiped out.

Eunuch Li was lying on the soft couch pitifully, with a painful expression on his face. He dared to say that he was tortured inhumanly after being captured.

However, on the surface, Eunuch Li was intact, but he didn't know where the injury was. Gong Nantian kindly invited the doctor, but Eunuch Li sent him away.

How dare Eunuch Li let people know about such a humiliating thing?

I could only hold back the tears and swallowed in my stomach.

In fact, he also had a certain responsibility for this kind of thing. He became a prisoner, but he didn't have the consciousness of a prisoner. He still put on the face of a high-ranking minister, and his attitude was extremely arrogant. In the end, he met the Khan of the Golden Empire. Chiluge, the Right Wise King who sent to labor.

This virtuous king of Chilu Geyou is extremely talented, has different hobbies, and kills both men and women, but his father-in-law Li has delicate features, delicate skin and tender flesh, which directly arouses the great sexual interest of the virtuous king Chiru Geyou, and directly brings people into the world. In the king's tent, he was so mercilessly favored for three days that poor Eunuch Li still has trouble walking, and he can't even sit down, so he can only lie on his stomach.

The battle report soon spread to Xijing, the capital of the Jin Emperor. Jin Wang Huabin was secretly happy. The Jin Empire was recognized as the number one empire in the mainland, and its family background was not ordinary.

Of course, on the surface it was still necessary to pretend that Long Yan was furious, and ordered Lei Lie, the general of the Tiger Riders, to command an army of [-] troops, vowing to avenge Huo Jian and other [-] soldiers.

General Lei Lie of the Tiger Riders is a die-hard royalist, loyal to the Fahrenheit, and Huabin has achieved his goal of eradicating dissidents with the help of the Jinren. Learn how to be a golden man.

To play the real game, of course you have to send out real elites. Huabin not only dispatched long-time infantry from various borders to Lei Lie, but also formed a cavalry of [-] people. , Lei Lie's [-] army is indeed an elite army.

Of course, it is impossible for all of them to be old soldiers who have been fighting for a long time. There are also new recruits, but the ratio of recruits and veterans is as high as three to one. A lesson in the determination of the Jin Empire.

It can be said that Hua Bin had high hopes for Lei Lie. He stood on the top of the city and watched Lei Lie's [-] troops disappear from sight before driving back to the palace, waiting patiently for the good news.

Lei Lie is also a battle-tested veteran, calm and seasoned, good at defense. Reign Bin entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, hoping that he will play steadily, step by step, and slowly consume the strength of the Golden Empire.

In order to curry favor with Mingzhu, Reign Bin had also supplemented some written knowledge of geography, climate, customs, customs, etc. outside the Great Wall. He knew that the resources outside the Great Wall were scarce. Even though those tribes, regardless of men and women, were natural fighters, their population was extremely scarce. One, therefore, he wanted to fight a war of attrition, consuming the strength of the Golden Empire bit by bit.

Lei Lie also understood what he meant. After leaving the customs, the army did not rush forward like Huo Jian, but slowly advanced into the depths of the prairie. There were camps abandoned by tribesmen everywhere along the way. Obviously, those small tribes heard that the army After leaving the customs, the whole family has already evacuated to the depths of the prairie.

The camps of these tribes were all set up in places with water sources, and their abandoned camps became the place where Lei Lie's army camped, saving a lot of trouble.

It took a full ten days for the army to advance to the city of Pojiao, which was the important town of the Golden Empire. The resident population was originally less than 20. Lei Lie's [-] troops advanced all the way, and all the small tribes scattered in the area moved temporarily. here we go.

The prairie beyond the Great Wall is flat, and it is rare to see a single stone mountain. Even if there is, those mountains and rocks are basically weathered. It is difficult to get a big stone weighing several tens of kilograms. It is made by tamping, and its firmness is not as good as that of the small counties in the pass.

Lei Lie was not in a hurry to attack the city, but after besieging the city to death, he ordered the camp to be set up, the whole army rested overnight, and then attacked the city at dawn.

It is very difficult to find a large rocky mountain on the prairie, and there are very few forests. The army camped, and there were no forests to cut down for camp fences. Lei Lie had to order the soldiers to dig trenches, and pile the dug out soil to make low mud walls. , and then ordered the logistics auxiliary soldiers to unload the grain from the carriages and mule carts, and pile them up behind the mud wall with wooden carts.

There is no tree system to resist horses, so a large number of pits can only be dug outside the trench.

The main force of the Golden Army has not yet been found in the Ye Bu Sui that was spilled before, but Lei Lie did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and still sprinkled a large amount of Ye Bu Sui. The scope of reconnaissance was expanded to a radius of hundreds of miles, and double posts were added at the same time to strictly prevent the Jin Army from sneaking at night. .

At night, although Lei Lie felt sleepy, he still sat in the tent of the Chinese army commander and thought about the best way to capture Pocheng City.

Heavy siege weapons are essential for a large army to go out. He carried two hundred thunderbolt chariots, but he couldn't find a larger stone on the prairie, let alone use it as a stone bomb. Fortunately, he brought There are a lot of fuel tanks so that the thunderbolt chariot with amazing lethality will not lose its use.

In fact, the city wall of Polong City is not high, and it doesn't look very strong. Even if there are no stone bombs, it can be attacked by erecting a long ladder, but it will take a little more time. One more thing, the tribesmen live in tents Here, attacking with fire bombs is hundreds of times more lethal than stone bombs.

When attacking the city tomorrow, it is certain to use fire bombs. He is considering how to attack the city to minimize casualties.

He is also eager to be honored with military exploits and get promoted, but he doesn't want to exchange the lives of countless soldiers for his meritorious service. Compared with other commanders, Lei Lie still cherishes the lives of his soldiers very much. The main reason for winning the support of soldiers.

This night was destined to be the longest and most difficult night for the Jin army.

Not long after Lei Lie lay down, he was awakened by the violent vibration beneath him. He quickly jumped up, grabbed his saber and rushed towards the tent.

He is a battle-tested veteran, so he naturally knows what caused the violent vibration below him. Only tens of thousands of horses galloping at the same time can cause such a big vibration.

This is because the Jin army wanted to use the cover of the night to attack the camp, Lei Lie hurriedly ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

Without the officer's urging, the ground shook so violently that the sleepy soldiers were awakened long ago, and all rushed out of the camp with their weapons in hand.

Soon, several bloody Yebushou came to report that the Golden Army cavalry came from all directions. They encountered the Golden Army Yebushou during their reconnaissance. Both sides were the best of the elite. After a scuffle, There were casualties on both sides.

As the sound of rumbling iron hooves approached, under the hazy moonlight, countless black shadows galloped like ghosts in the distance, and when those black shadows approached, with the light of the torches, there were cavalrymen of the Golden Army everywhere, A large black mass.

The soldiers had fortifications to rely on, and there were a large number of archers behind them. Lei Lie even ordered the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to set up Thunderbolt Chariots and face the outside of the camp. They were not very nervous.

The surging Jin army launched an attack, but under the heavy rain of arrows, after paying the price of more than a thousand casualties, the Jin army retreated and disappeared into the vast night.

Lei Lie ordered the soldiers to step up vigilance, and then ordered the entire army to disband and return to the tent to continue resting.

Not long after the talent lay down, the violent vibration came again clearly, and the soldiers hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tent, preparing for battle.

However, this time, the Jin army did not launch an attack, but turned around a few times outside the range of the bow and arrow, and disappeared into the vast night.

This night, for the soldiers of the Jin army, was destined to be the longest and most difficult night. They were disbanded and returned to the camp. As soon as they lay down, the Jin army came to attack again. Very sleepy, so repeated tossing, it is almost fatal.

Lei Lie knew that it was the Jin army's harassment tactics, the purpose was to prevent the soldiers from resting, and there were many troubles at night, so he dared not send cavalry to fight, nor did he dare not be wary of the Jin army's real attack on the camp, so he only had to send some soldiers on duty, the rest Step up and rest.

But the soldier was tortured several times, and his drowsiness faded away early. Even if he really lay down, no one dared to sleep with peace of mind.

After finally surviving until dawn, Lei Lie, whose face was full of fatigue, couldn't help frowning when he saw that all the soldiers under his command looked listless and sleepy.

4 Chapter Forty

The army traveled long distances, was exhausted, and was unable to rest due to the harassment tactics of the Jin army. This physical and mental state can be imagined.
